Machina/The Machines of God released February 29, 2000! It was a concept album that marked the return of drummer Jimmy Chamberlin and was intended to be The Smashing Pumpkins' final official LP release prior to their break up in 2000. A sequel album—Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music—was later released independently via the internet, and limited quantities for the physical version. As with its predecessor, Adore, Machina represented a drastic image and sound change for the band. After the relatively brief Adore tour, the new line-up with Chamberlin and the former Hole bass guitarist Melissa Auf der Maur mounted longer international tours that returned the live incarnation of the band to a guitar-driven hard rock style. "If you want to know what Jimmy brings back to the band," Billy Corgan told Q, "then listen to Adore and this new record back-to-back. It speaks for itself." Corgan envisioned a lengthy concept album in conjunction with a musical theater approach to a tour, based around the idea of the band playing exaggerated versions of themselves, as the press and public seemed to view them. From there, a story was conceived revolving around a rock star named Zero (based on the Mellon Collie character and Corgan's public persona) hearing the voice of God, renaming himself Glass, and renaming his band The Machines of God. Fans of the band were referred to as the "Ghost Children". 2000's Machina was only part of the story, and Machina II an extension. The Machina reissue, which is presumed to see its release in 2022, is to complete the original vision. Machina was released as a single album with a bonus disc, Still Becoming Apart, available at certain stores. It spawned the hit singles "The Everlasting Gaze", "Stand Inside Your Love" and "Try, Try, Try". The Chicago Sun-Times called it "an exceedingly impressive and hard-driving record" and contended that it was the band's "masterpiece." Machina peaked at #3 in the US, #2 in Canada and Australia, and in the top 5 in several other countries. It was also certified Gold in 5 countries including the US, and went Platinum in Canada and Silver in the U.K. <nowiki>https://spcodex.wiki/Machina</nowiki>
